Do you ever find yourself wondering why it’s difficult to shed those pounds and reach your desired weight?
Losing weight doesn't always feel easy. Temptation can get the better of us even when we try our best to avoid it. Discipline is hard to cultivate and even harder to maintain.
We’ve all attempted numerous fad diets and weight loss techniques with no luck. Falling off the wagon can seem inevitable as much as you fight it.
That’s why today I’m here to explain how you can use techniques based on the law of attraction to speed up progress toward having the body of your dreams.
Firstly In Case You Don't Fully Know, What Is The Law Of Attraction?
The law of attraction is a life philosophy based on the idea that our thoughts determine our results. If we think positive thoughts, we manifest positive outcomes, and vice-versa.
Using this belief system, we can have more power over the results we receive in life. People tend to think that the law of attraction principles are just for getting rich or becoming successful. Whereas it can actually be an ingredient for and help spark lasting change in your life.
Whether it’s bringing positivity into our lives, or a physical change in the form of losing weight, the law of attraction should be your first port of call.
How Can The Law Of Attraction Help You Lose Weight?
So, let’s get started and consider how the law of attraction can help you with your weight loss goal.
First and foremost, it is your body. What this means is that you are the one in charge, you have control over yourself.
You can use this knowledge to your advantage. Just like negative thoughts and cravings can work against your weight loss goals and prevent progress, positive thoughts can drive you forward.
Now, let’s get stuck into the meat of the topic, and explore the specific methods we can apply to help us lose weight.
Feed Your Mind Along With Your Body.
It’s all too easy to see losing weight as a physical issue, not a mental one. Yet, our mind is our most powerful tool, so why not put it to good use?
Starting simple, we can focus on the good feelings brought on when we eat healthily. The delightful crunch of a raw carrot. The rich texture of fresh beetroot. The pleasant aroma of a well-balanced meal or freshly picked fruit.
When we focus on the positive elements of eating healthy food, we can more easily forget the short-lived pleasure of eating unhealthy food.
Furthermore, you can practice mindful eating to feel a greater sense of fullness after eating.
Treat it as an exercise in patience. Savoring every bite, taking in the aromas and enjoying the food as if it were nourishing your very soul.
Escape Unhelpful Thought Patterns
Let’s face it, part of the reason we fail in our quest to lose weight is due to our willingness to give up when we don’t see results.
Or to give in too frequently to temptation in the way of snack foods and alcohol.
While it may seem complicated, or even impossible, to break free of these negative thought patterns, we can do it.
Applying the law of attraction, we can approach weight loss with a fresh perspective and a clean slate.
A common reason for giving in too early or falling prey to temptation is not considering the ‘why’ to our weight loss goal.
Too often we have negative motivations such as feeling inadequate or less than those around us because of our current weight.
In place of these unhelpful driving factors, we should look to create a meaningful reason for losing weight in the first place.
Say, for example, you’ve always dreamt of climbing a mountain or competing in tennis at some level, then you are more likely to make decisions in line with those visions.
Once you have thought of some more positive goals in line with who you want to become, jot them down on a notepad.
Keep these goals in mind at all times, and you are much more likely to avoid falling off the wagon and can better stick to your goals.
Improve Your Self-Talk
If we can create healthy dialogue around food and our bodies, then we can essentially talk our way to a happier life.
As we touched upon earlier, when we make our weight loss about negative comparisons with others, we are likely to fall short.
Imagine what you could achieve if you were to turn this into positive, re-affirming self-talk?
One way to do this is by creating and repeating a series of affirmations. These affirmations should describe the person you want to be. By telling yourself, for example, ‘I am strong-willed, and I can achieve whatever I set my mind to,’ you will start to believe it over time.
Writing out these affirmations, you can stick them up somewhere you will see them every morning.
That way, you can focus your mind every day on what is important to you, and you are more likely to make decisions in line with your long-term desires and goals.
All of those moments of weakness in which it seems so hard to stay healthy, you’ll have your affirmation to say aloud and help you make the right decision.
Meditate And Contemplate
When it comes to our weight loss goals, the past often shapes how we view them.
If we have struggled many times before, we believe that we will continue to struggle the next time we try. As a result, we can lose hope of making progress.
To give ourselves the best chance of success, we should aim to stay in the present moment.
Applying mindfulness to your life is a massive step in the right direction, especially when it comes to reaching your desired weight.
Meditation is by far the best way to start living more mindfully.

Merely sitting for a few minutes without any distractions is enough to re-focus on what is important to you.
Combining meditation with the affirmations you wrote out can be hugely useful for getting back on track. Even if you fall prey to temptation and eat something you shouldn’t, you can re-connect to your ‘why’ through meditation and start again.
Meditation also has the benefit of taking thoughts out of the equation momentarily.
If you feel negative thoughts bubbling up, you can take a seat and ground yourself in positive energy through your mindful practice.
As you now know, there are many ways to harness the law of attraction to help you with your weight loss goals.
Moving forward, be kinder to yourself. Steep yourself in the present moment. Treat yourself well and lose weight by focussing on the positive rather than the negative.
